Hardback. Condition: New. In 2004, the opera scene was taken by storm by the ground-breaking production of Richard Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde in Los Angeles. This book offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the visionary American artist Bill Viola created four hours of video as a visual complement to this profound psychol…ogical drama. It also tells the story of its commissioning by the then Paris Opera director Gerard Mortier, who pushed the boundaries of what opera could be by inviting a trinity of California-based creatives to re-imagine a Tristan und Isolde for our times. Having just opened the now iconic Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall, this was a bold project for the Los Angeles Philharmonic to take on, but it was one which catapulted them into the world of music and breath-taking visuals. The fully staged opera that resulted has been seen in Paris, Toronto, Madrid, Tokyo, Kobe, and concert versions in LA, New York, Rotterdam, London, Helsinki, Stockholm, and St Petersburg, and the revolutionary four-hour video and visuals created by Bill Viola to accompany this opera lives on through this beautifully illustrated book. Distributed for Mercatorfonds.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very good. Second. Two volumes in one. "Paris: Chez Hubert Iaillot Ioignant les Grands Augustins aux deux Globes" [but Amsterdam: Pieter Mortier], 1696-1700. Broadsheet folio (23 13/16" x 19 7/8", 604mm x 505mm): 9 letter-press leaves, pp. [4] (Nouvelle introduction title, blank, Introduction title, preface…), 1 2-16 (16pp. introduction); 2 (lives of ancient hermits, blank = "147"). With 147 engraved plates: an engraved title-page and an engraved frame for the table (with letterpress table pasted in), 2 double-page engraved tables, 19 engraved tables, 93 double-page engraved maps, 30 engraved maps, and 1 folding map -- all (save one chart (39: "Echelle geographique") and one double-page map (43: "Plan de la Ville. de Paris")) with hand-color. Lacking the map of Namur; else collated complete against the list of maps. Bound in XIXc crimson half calf over red cloth. On the spine, seven raised bands. Title, author (Sanson) and date (MDCC) gilt to black calf in the second panel. Scuffed generally, with bumps to the extremities. Extensive marginal losses to the front-matter, and a large repaired loss to the final map (150, the Gulf of Venice). Map 115 (Austria) with two filled half-inch holes; map 136 (Danube) shaved at the head, 147 (letterpress lives of ancient hermits) with old fraying and loss at the fore-edge. Additional map of Northumberland (London: C. Smith; January 6th, 1802) pasted to the rear-paste down, with losses. A little soiled generally, but altogether a sound copy. With ink numeration in an old hand to the verso of most plates. Pieter Mortier (1661-1711; pron. "more-tear" rather than "more-tee-ay") was the son of a French refugee who, after a brief stint in Paris, worked in Amsterdam as an engraver, mapmaker and bookseller; his illustrated bible is one of the great lavish works of engraving. While the Dutch largely dominated the XVIIc market for atlases, Jaillot, who had at his disposal the stock of Nicolas Sanson, was an exception; Mortier's ingenious solution (with his partner Marc Huguetan) was simply to copy and to undercut him. Although Pastoureau concedes that there may in fact have been an agreement between Mortier and Jaillot, she deems the present work a piracy or "contrefaçon:" "toutes les planches sont gravées entre la fin de 1690 et le début de 1692. . . au début de 1692. . . les associés se partagent les cuivres et conviennent que chacun peut alors tirer autant de cartes qu'il veut. . ." ("all the plates were engraved between the end of 1690 and the beginning of 1692. . . at the beginning of the 1692. . . the partners share the copperplates and agree that each of them can print as many plates as they wish," Pastoureau p. 234). The present copy is the second Mortier edition, with considerable changes to what maps are included. Most telling, perhaps, is the map numbered 76: a 1695 map depicting the encampments of the French army in the Low Countries. Though Dutch piracy of books published elsewhere is common for much of the history of European printing, the circumstances of the present work's creation are striking. Nearly all of Europe -- the Grand Alliance, of the Hapsburg lands, the Dutch Republic, England, Spain and Savoy -- had banded against France in the Nine Years' War (1688-1697). Thus the copying of the encyclopedic French Atlas nouveau by the Dutch is an act of cartographic espionage. The organization of the atlas makes it uncommonly useful for the planning of military actions. The disingenuity of the work began before Mortier; Alexis-Hubert Jaillot (1632-1712) claims responsibility for the work both as the dedicator to the Dauphin and as the publisher, but all but three of the maps in the initial 1681 edition were in fact the work of his late predecessor, Nicolas Sanson (1600-1667). The work is nevertheless the first appearance of the word "atlas" in the title of a French book of maps. Pastoureau I E 1696 contrefaçon hollandaise.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very good. First. THE WARDINGTON COPY -- FROM THE LIBRARY OF THE ARCHITECT JAMES GIBBS. Mortier: Paris: Hubert Jaillot, 1693 [but Amsterdam: Pieter Mortier, 1693]. First issue of the Amsterdam edition. de Hooghe: Amsterdam: Pieter Mortier, 1693. Broadsheet (25" x 19 3/4", 634mm x 503mm). Bound in contempora…ry Dutch mottled calf. On the boards, a central gilt vignette of Atlas bearing the world (as an armillary sphere) surrounded by scrollwork. Two gilt roll borders, the inner with corner-ornaments of armillary spheres. On the spine, eight raised bands. In the panels, armillary spheres gilt. Title gilt to black calf in the second panel. Gilt roll to the edges of the boards. All edges of the text-block speckled red. Rebacked, with the original back-strip laid down. Scuffed and chipped generally but mildly, with bumps and some wear to the extremities. Oxidizing and offsetting throughout, entirely consistent with original color. Repaired throughout with archival tissue in places where the oxidation has weakened the paper. Portrait bookplate of James Gibbs (dated 1736) to the front paste-down. Early ownership signature in ink of "P: Jackson" to the recto of the first free end-paper. Bookplate of Lord Wardington on the rear end-paper. In all, a lovely solid copy of a vast book. Pieter Mortier (1661-1711; pron. "more-teer" rather than "more-tee-ay") was the son of a French refugee who, after a brief stint in Paris, worked in Amsterdam as an engraver, mapmaker and bookseller; his illustrated bible is one of the great lavish works of engraving. The first item in this Sammelband is a piracy ("contre-façon"): he copied Alexis-Hubert Jaillot's Neptune François chart-by-chart and printed it himself in Amsterdam while claiming it was from Paris. This was quite common on the Continent, especially in Holland, which had much looser copy-right restrictions than other countries. While the Dutch largely dominated the XVIIc market for atlases, Jaillot, who had at his disposal the stock of Nicolas Sanson, was an exception; Mortier's ingenious solution was simply to copy and to undercut him. As we know from contemporary sales-catalogues, the two works bound together in this volume were offered as a set. Most interesting is the way coloration affected price; Mortier charged 44 florins for the two works together uncolored and 84 florins for the "très-belle Enluminure, avec de l'or," very beautifully colored and heightened with gold, as is the present item. This is surely near the very pinnacle of Dutch atlas-production. The volume passed through quite distinguished hands. James Gibbs (1682-1754) was one of Britain's great architects. Saint Martin-in-the-Fields in London, the Radcliffe Camera in Oxford and Senate House in Cambridge are all his designs. As a Catholic and non-Palladian, he stood apart from his peers in the discipline, both in his style and in his patrons. A catalogue library, in excess of 600 volumes, shows him a distinguished and catholic-minded collector; his superb picture collection perhaps predicts the quality of color in the present example. Of Mr. Jackson we must remain silent, but of the book's final recorded owner -- Christopher Henry Beaumont Pease (1924-2005), 2nd Baron Wardington -- much can be said. He was a book collector of great renown, building a splendid library at his Oxfordshire home, Wardington Manor. His particular interest was the very finest examples of cartography. His sale (Sotheby's London, 10 October 2006, lot 317) was a landmark in the field, and its catalogue practically a reference work in its own right.

Add to basketTechnic: Copper print, colorit: original colored, condition: Printed on 2 sheets joined together, 2 folds perfectly restored., size (in cm): 39 x 93 cm, Sanson based this map of the Holy Land on Christiaan van Adrichom's impressive map, Situs Terrae Promissionis, but with the Mediterranean oriented at the top of the map. The map… extends from the Nile Delta to Sidon and is divided into the twelve tribes. There is no bend where Palestine meets Egypt, and the Kishon River erroneously connects the Sea of Galilee with the Mediterranean. With small details that depict numerous biblical scenes, including the Exodus, the wandering of the Children of Israel, and several battle scenes. Two compass roses incorrectly orient north to the top of the map. The map was created by Christiaan van Adrichom (1533?1585) and published by Pieter Mortier as part of the "Atlas Nouveau".
